Last year I ran a 100mm deep front and 50mm rear with a disc cover. Have run 50mm front and rear and 50mm front with 50mm rear with a disc cover and a 40mm front and tri spoke rear at Lk Stevens. Can say I've ever noticed any handling issues with any set up.

Last year it rained and made braking for turns tricky. I over cooked one corner and was lucky to stay up let alone lucky that there was no car in the other lane.

I'm not racing it this year, but if the course stays the same there are lots of rollers and a few climbs. I'd just be sure to run a rear wheel you know climbs well and make sure you have the right gearing. I left my 11/23 cassette on last year by mistake and had to grind up a few hills with lower RPM than what I'd like.

Decided to rent some Zipp 404s from Speedy Reedy. Definitely a difference. Of course, I crashed the first day I tried them. Scraped up elbow, knee and hip pretty good but we're going to be ready for SUNDAY!
